The A5 FM/DAB tuner is designed to produce outstanding musical performance. It has 24-bit 192k upsampling technology.
On FM it has great sensitivity and selectively which when coupled to the excellent noise ratio and separation give outstanding musical results. The sound quality is sweet, clear and translucent. It has a beguiling "there" quality which is unusual from any signal source let alone FM. Live broadcasts have an extraordinary level of realism and ambient presence.
The A5 FM/DAB tuner's DAB section is exceptional. It uses exactly the same digital electronics and output stage as the renowned A5 CD. Looked at from a technical point of view the A5 Tuner is really an A5 CD player with a DAB source as opposed to a CD mechanism. It's not a surprise that comparative tests between an A5 tuner and A5 CD player give almost identical listening results. The A5 CD is regarded as one of the best digital players ever but for a DAB tuner to achieve the same, or very nearly the same, sonic results is quite an achievement and something altogether special for DAB radio.
If you're into radio then this tuner is a prize.
